Having cut his teeth on such TV hits as The Missing, Poldark and Misfits, director-writer William McGregor makes his feature length debut with a chilly tale of a mother-daughter relationship coming unstuck in rural Wales. Set in 1855 Snowdonia, Gwen follows a series of unfortunate events that befall the family when the father leaves to fight in a war. These events may very well be supernatural in nature, with the audience going on a jounrey to unpick the mystery at the film's core. The film benefits from a pair of terrific turns from Eleanor Worthington-Cox (TV credits include Cucumber, The Enfield Haunting and Britannia) and Maxine Peake (one of British cinema's very best actors).

For those of a horror persuasion, check out the Oxford Horror Club, who will be having their first meet-up before a screening of Gwen.
